Pack is a preflight planning feature that downloads charts, plates, weather, NOTAMs, fuel price data, and more to the device for offline use. The data included in a Pack download varies based on the download selections, planned route, and ForeFlight subscription. Pack is included with all subscriptions and can be accessed from the Maps or Flights views.
Information downloaded with Pack is accessed using the same techniques as when the device is connected to the Internet. For example, to access packed weather, select one of the map weather layers (e.g., Flight Category) using the layer selector.
NOTE: Pack should be relied on as a secondary tool for flight planning. It is preferable to configure download selections to include plates and charts that are used on a regular basis and use Pack to gather additional data specific to each flight.
